Nice To Meet You (Tristan)

Cormac had just got back from a long Quidditch practice and was rather sore and ready to relax in the common room before bed. When he walked in he saw a really cute girl curled up in his favorite spot by the fire. He almost said something, but she looked so comfortable he decided not to and took the seat closest to her. "Hey, I don't think we've ever properly met. I'm Cormac." he told her, giving her a smile.

Tristan had made a promise to Kira to try and associate with her house mates more. SHe hated it. She hated talking to people. She sighed and curled up in the common room on the couch and raised an eyebrow when someone tried to talk to her. Her first instinct was to snap at them, but she remembered her promise. She bit her lip to bite back the snappy comment before letting out a soft hello.

Cormac wasn't the best at reading people, but even he could tell that it took an effort for the girl just to say hi. He found himself looking at her curiously, wondering what was going on with her that would make her like that. "What's your name?" he asked quietly, before shaking his head. "Sorry, I can tell you want to be left alone. I'll shut up." he apologized, just stretching out in his seat and closing his eyes.

Tristan sighed in relief when the boy said that hed leave her alone. But she could hear Kiras voice in her head and she let out a low growl deep in her throat before quickly clearing her throat "Tristan." She said in response to his question of her name "Tristan Lycanthe."

His eyes widened a little bit and snapped open when he actually heard her growl before telling him her name. "Nice to meet you Tristan. Lycanthe, that's an intereting last name. Almost like lycanthrope." he said, looking over at her curiously. He'd heard rumors there werewolves among the students, but never knew if they were actually true.

"It would only make sense. I feel personally connected to the werewolf species." SHe said with a soft chuckle. It amused her that he didnt know just what she was. Her eyes flashed a bright gold before going back to their normal hazel "Whats your name?" She asked wait a raised brow

"Personally connected, huh...are you a werewolf or something?" he asked, knowing it was ridiculous to think that. But that's when he saw her eyes flash gold and he thought maybe it wasn't so crazy a thought. "Cormac McLaggen, I think we have a few classes together just...never really talked. You seemed like a bit of a loner so I thought I should just leave you alone, but...today I thought...well, everybody needs friends, right?" Cormac pointed out, giving her a smile.

"Thats for me to know and you to find out." She said smirking more and sent him a wink, which was way out of character for her. Lennyx scoffed and pushed her hair out of her face "You sure do talk alot, dony you, Cormac?" She asked teasingly

"Does that mean you'd be open to hanging out some? You seem like an interesting girl to get to know." Cormac said, intrigued by the way she was acting. When she pointed at that he talked a lot he blushed and looked at the floor. "Yeah, I guess I do. I think a lot of it's that a pretty girl has me tongue-tied." he said, looking up at her shyly.

"Maybe. Ill think about it." She said chewing at her lip. When he called her pretty she couldnt help but laugh "You must be delusional." She said blushing a bit and moved her hair once again, it kept falling in her face

"Cool." Cormac said simply, having a feeling pressing the matter wouldn't help with this girl. When she called him delusional for calling her pretty he just shook his head. "No, you're the delusional one if you can't see that. You're beautiful, and I'm not just saying that it's just...obvious." he told her honestly.

"I run alot. I go to the forest and just start running until I cant run anymore. It makes me feel free. LIke I have no problems or responsibilities." She said softly as a smile spread across her lips. She wanted to run now, but she couldnt.

Cormac was a bit taken aback when she responded that way. "Sorry, I didn't mean to pry Tristan. Don't answer anything you don't want to. You have any questions for me?" he asked, figuring it was only fair that she ask some of her own.
